Can you believe it? 2009 is over half in the past. Kids are gearing up for the return to school, including my miss Lillian who becomes a big kindergartener! Perhaps it's the 100 degree temps the last few days that have me thinking about the holidays...and snow! The holidays will be upon us before we know it. If hostess gifts are on your list or if you're hosting a holiday dinner yourself, The Write Coasters™ are a festive, unique gift idea. Give your guests something to write about and never lose their drinks! These chalkcloth coasters are a unique way to do both. Write your name to claim your drink spot. Use as place cards for a table setting. Write “conversation starters” on them for your next dinner party. Draw a picture. Be creative.Show your own personal style. Then, pour a fabulous drink and say "Cheers!"  Happy New Year! 01/01/2009
 Day 1 of the New Year and I'm off to a rockin' start: Said "rabbit" at the strike of mid-night. Check! Burning a bayberry candle. Check! Doing a load of laundry. Check! I still have to walk down a flight of stairs backwards, but rest assured, I will before mid-night comes. So, all of my New Year's Day traditions (and a few superstitions) are nearly complete. 'Tis going to be a terrific year, indeed!  'Tis the Season of Giving: Another Giveaway! 12/13/2008

 I am thankful for... O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree 11/24/2008
 So here I was today, driving to pick up my daughter from preschool when I had an "AH HA!" moment. Related to sewing, of course! I thought why not create a special edition placemat for the holidays. 'Tis the season when we all want (and deserve) to enjoy the company of our family and friends around a dinner table topped with our favorite holiday delicacies! And, how do we enjoy such a meal with little ones at the table, too? Keep their minds and little fingers busy...whether scooping up their next spoonful of peas or doodling to their hearts content, this placemat is your ticket to a warm meal eaten in peace. For parents with young children, it is a sure holiday must-have! Monster Treats 11/01/2008
 So, what does a "Rockin' Robots" chalk mat have to do with our Halloween fun? Lots! It became a great source of inspiration for my family as we meticulously made (...and ate!) our Monster Treats turning rice krispy treats, icing, and candies into creatures from another planet. Lilly went a step beyond by making herself a cell phone complete with Skittles as buttons and a gum drop antenna. Brandon and I cracked plenty 'o laughs with the "voices" we gave our creatures as they came to life.  I am curious about one thing, though. I have a sneakin' suspicion that a bit more candy was eaten during our decorating fun than the candy that actually landed on our monster treats. But seriously, isn't that what it is really all about? Rolling out new designs! 10/20/2008
Just in time for this year's holiday season, I'm rolling out new Roll.n.Go Crayons designs. Here are the first three, with many more fun and colorful designs to come. I'm finally getting to my special stash of new ribbons! Stay tuned to see what's coming off of the sewing machine next...  Cupcake Cuties  Vintage Airplanes  Where The Dinosaurs Roll |  {about me}
